Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-6-8
Purpose and Reason:
This rule is being amended to reflect the following: the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) has decreased from $613 to $605 due to a decrease in the cost of fuel and utilities as calculated by the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI); the gross and net income eligibility standards have been increased as a result of the annual cost of living adjustment for household sizes 1 through 5 or 1 through 6, depending on the household’s gross income limit; the maximum excess shelter deduction has increased from $504 to $517; the maximum standard deduction for household sizes 1-3 has increased from $155 to $157 and remains unchanged for household sizes 4-6+. The minimum monthly allotment and maximum allotments remain unchanged.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
To prevent wrongful denial or discontinuance of benefits for applicants/beneficiaries and loss of federal funding.
